Zoning changes to accommodate infill housing

Winnipeg needs more housing so everyone can have a home they can afford. We can create more housing options by making changes to the Winnipeg Zoning By-law and Local Area Plans to enable the development of:

  • Two-unit, three-unit, and four-unit homes in many neighbourhoods; and
  • Taller four-unit homes (up to 39 feet) on certain lots within 800 metres (about a half mile) walking distance of a frequent transit route.

Zoning By-law changes will support this work to ensure that rules related to height, building setback, and landscaping, among others, are followed.
